Given the value range, specifies the numeric format used for float results in 'Auto'
mode.
Syntax
*DefineNumericFormat
(Min, Max, FormatType, Precision)
Inputs
- Min
- The lower end of the value range.
- Max
- The higher end of the value range.
- FormatType
- Fixed or Scientific
- Precision
- The number of digits after the decimal point.
Example
BeginGraphicDefaults()
*DefineNumericFormat(0.0, 1.0e-3, "Scientific", 5);
*DefineNumericFormat(0.0, 10000, "Fixed", 3);
*DefineNumericFormat(0.0, 1.0e6, "Scientific", 4);
*DefineNumericFormat(0.0, FLT_MAX, "Scientific", 4);
EndGraphicDefaults()
Comments
In
AUTO mode,
HyperView will determine what
format to use based on the current value range and the settings specified in the preference
file. If no settings are specified in the file, the system default settings in
HyperView will be used. All float values in query, measure, and notes
will also use the same format that is determined by
HyperView
for the corresponding plot and their legend.
Note: Contour, vector, and tensor each have
their own legend, therefore the formatting for the corresponding float values could be
different.
The order of the statement implies the priority that the individual statement will be
considered in the process of determining the format to be used (the first statement has the
highest priority). Consequently, the first statement should have smallest value range,
etc.
Note: This command applies only to 'results-related' float values like; scalar,
tensor, and vector values. Integers and other float values like; time, frequency,
coordinates, etc. do not obey the settings.
